Maurice, you are right about keeping the infrastructure. I would hope for a partner. Remember Dr J. said the infrastructure is strategic to qcom. Your example is an excellent demonstration of q's strength, the ability to develop an elegant whole product. Thanks
Web.

To All. The implication in this Sony release is that their new cdma chipset is so advanced that their unreleased newest phone could not take full advantage of it. Sounds like a bunch of hooey. More likely they are having trouble with the ASIC, just like everyone else that has tried an end run around Q!'s chips.

Have a good weekend,
Jim

Sony Delays Release Of Phone, Chip
Set

Sony canceled its intended release at Wireless '99
of the first handset built with the company's new
code division multiple access chip set and said the
phone would not be developed.

The D-WAVE Zuma CM-ZS300 phone is a
single-band personal communications services
wireless phone that would have been the next
generation of the company's Zuma family.

Tadao Kubodera, who took over as Sony's new
president of personal mobile
communications-America Feb. 1, pulled the phone
because it did not offer enough of an upgrade in
features over current Zuma models to fully exploit
the benefits of the new chip set.


Sony also said its addition to the product line
would interfere with the Zuma.

The company instead will introduce upgrades to
the Zuma Z100 and Z200 models in the first half
on 1999. Sony will deliver its Astra CM-SB200
dual-band CDMA handset in the summer.
